               CHINA BOLDLY TRYING TO PICK OUR PRESIDENT

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, news reports say a Chinese spokesman 
said, ``America is our enemy, and we must prepare to fight them.'' Now, 
if that is not enough to infuriate Ronald Reagan, the spokesman further 
stated, ``China does not want to see George Bush get elected.'' He 
said, ``Bush will support and bolster Taiwan, and Bush will, in fact, 
build a missile shield around America, weakening China.'' I say that is 
a compliment to George Bush.
  Because think about it, last election, China got away with funneling 
cash illegally to the Democratic National Committee. No investigation. 
This time they are boldly trying to pick our President. Beam me up, 
Congress. It is time to mandate an independent investigation into this 
Chinese business.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the lessons we should have learned at Pearl 
Harbor.
